What is the Coachmakers Livery Company?
Coach & Coach harness making + Automotive engineering + Aerospace engineering
The Coachmakers is a City of London Livery Company, founded by Royal Charter in 1677 by King Charles II.
In addition to being active in the lively and ongoing craft of coach & coach harness making, we are closely involved with our modern-day industrial sectors: automotive and aerospace engineering. Both of these evolved from our traditional craft of coachmaking. We have strong links with various universities and educational organisations (see Charity page for details) plus the Royal Navy, Army, Royal Air Force and the Cadet movement. We also support other charities focussed on young people seeking to inspire and encourage them to careers in our sectors.
